INTRODUCTION
Events management refers to the use of project management in organising, creating and developing activities within the event sector such as festivals, events, conferences and exhibitions. It involves identifying the target audience, identifying the objectives of the event and coordinating the technical aspects of the event. In this regard an event can be said to be an event that is first class or an event in terms of its publicity (Bowdin, Allen & O’Toole, 2006).

Another document I would like to have seen would be one containing a record of third world countries that have attended the Olympics. This document would have shown how wealth effects and shapes the modern Olympics.…

    This is a picture of a door that connects my family room to the kitchen, it was put in by my father during the Olympics, an event that attracted a lot of tourists into the beautiful city of Vancouver. The Vancouver Olympics used many First Nations’ symbols and mythical creatures for mascots. Though my family actively participated in the festivities of the 2010 winter Olympics, we were not aware of the past and ongoing violence against the First Nations. Though the 2010 winter Olympics gave many aboriginal groups the opportunity to showcase their art and culture but the aboriginal culture was still commodified through the numerous souvenirs in every gift shop around the city. Many of the group’s problems were put under the carpet for the…

    Ancient Olympic Games

    It is amazing to think that a sporting event first held in Greece in 776 BC is still being competed in today. When I first began to research this event I thought there had to be huge changes between an event held over two thousand years ago to an event held in the modern World. There are obvious changes to the event but was surprised to find that so much of the original ideals behind the Olympics exist today. Such as customs, ceremonies, rules, events, participants and sponsors. Nowadays the Olympics are advertised worldwide, and sponsors like Gatorade and Wheaties thrive off of the games. But were there sponsors of the games back in 776 or would the best athletes compete for nothing but pride and glory, and not endorsements? Modern day olympians…
